> While I am unsure if switchting to Linux for ME is a good solution FWIW, this is NOT at all the goal of the NERF project that this zdnet article talks about. So what the idea is roughly: - Remove or disable the ME as much as possible (impossible to do 100% since e.g. the ME is responsible for booting up the main CPU, but it appears you can remove a large part of it) - Replace the upper levels of the UEFI firmware stack and the bootloader with Linux + a minimal userspace written in Go (u-root).
